Quote:Obviously not. But as I said iconographic evidence, puted together with various informations from ancient writers' statements can help us to make up some ideas.Definitely, but some people invent ridiculous theories based on their interpretation of some statue or another and then go about manipulating the literary evidence to suit their preconceived notions. It would be better to approach the literary evidence with an open mind and then look for iconographical evidence to help support the text.
